Governance Policy Governance Policy I. Purpose of the Governance Policy The Governance Policy establishes the governance framework for the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko (Shevchenko Foundation). The objectives of this policy are to: (a) Define the Shevchenko Foundation’s purpose, mandate and structure; (b) Define Board and Management roles and responsibilities; (c) Provide a consistent, coherent and comprehensive accountability framework which spans the entire organizational structure; (d) Facilitate strategic decision-making for the Board and Management; (e) Heighten Board, staff and external stakeholder confidence in the stewardship of the Board, the professionalism of Management and the integrity of the organization’s activities and processes. II. OVERVIEW OF THE SHEVCHENKO FOUNDATION OUR HISTORY In 1959, the Ukrainian community in Canada embarked on a significant undertaking – to erect a monument to Taras Shevchenko, Ukraine’s national poet, on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature. $175,000 was raised for this endeavor. Two years later, on July 9, 1961, nearly 25,000 Ukrainian Canadians from across the country gathered in Winnipeg to witness the official unveiling of the monument by Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. The fundraising for this monumental project led to a surplus of $30,000, which was invested in an endowment fund dedicated to the preservation and development of Ukrainian culture in Canada. This fund was named the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko. Through the efforts of Senators John Hnatyshyn, William Wall and Paul Yuzyk, and Member of Parliament Nicholas Mandziuk, Bill S-21 – “An Act to Incorporate the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko” was successfully introduced in the Canadian Parliament and signed on July 22, 1962, by Governor General G.P. Vanier. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) appointed the first Board of Directors, and in 1964 the Shevchenko Foundation was officially launched. Dr. Isydore Hlynka was founding President of the Shevchenko Foundation, leading the organization for its first fifteen years.

  • Cultural Expression Among Canada's Ukrainians
    VISIBLE SYMBOLS CULTURAL EXPRESSION AMONG CANADA’S UKRAINIANS Edited by MANOLY R. LUPUL COVER ILLUSTRATION Peter Shostak. Was that your Baba’s coat? Oil. 1978. “Through a good quality silk-screen reproduction, Was that your Baba’s coat? has become a resurrected symbol. Ukrainian pioneers in Canada were known as men in sheepskin coats, the latter being undoubtedly among the most highly valued of the immigrant’s first possessions during the cruel, harsh Canadian winters. Later, the functional, bulky coats became objects of derision and their wearers targets of discrimination. To be less conspicuous, the once proud possessions were left on the farm. A very small number have survived and today can be seen mainly behind glass in museums. Was that your Baba’s coat? was painted to make the most important symbol of the Ukrainian pioneer again an important image.” (Peter Shostak) Visible Symbols: Cultural Expression Among Canada’s Ukrainians VISIBLE SYMBOLS: Cultural Expression Among Canada’s Ukrainians Edited by Manoly R.

This is a very relevant way to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, and I would like to thank the Friends of the Provincial Archives of Alberta Society for spearheading this bilingual project to make the Ukrainian-related holdings of the Archives available. I am grateful to the Friends, and to the Ukrainian Pioneers Association of Alberta and the Alberta Ukrainian Heritage Foundation for their support in 2014 and 2015, and to the Alberta Society for the Advancement of Ukrainian Studies and the Friends for their support in 2017. This edition includes all the content of the first edition, plus those records in our holdings that have been described between 2010 and 2016. There are several changes that were introduced in this second edition, the main being the reorganized structure of the publication. If previously the holdings were separated by format into mostly textual records and audiovisual records, in the second edition we decided to eliminate this division. Many archival fonds and collections contain mixed, and frequently all types of media including text, images, audio, and video materials.

The implementation of official Canadian multicultural policy as a response to demographic concerns and the expanding demands of human rights in a liberal state is then examined through historical and philosophical perspectives. An analysis of present challenges to the policies of Canadian multiculturalism is situated in an argument that suggests continued and expanding tensions to current framework. An argument for a future of rooted cosmopolitanism in Canada is presented as a way to address the concerns raised regarding multicultural policy.
